I went down the water ionizer rabbit hole so you don’t have to. Here’s one thing I learned:
Not all water is created equal.
Most people look at pH and stop there. I was more interested in charge.
When water is exposed to oxygen, it becomes more oxidizing. When it gains electrons, it becomes more reducing.
Think about what happens when an apple is sliced and turns brown. That’s oxidation.
The question I started asking wasn’t “What’s the pH?” It was “What’s the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP)?”
Because pH tells you how acidic or alkaline something is.
Charge tells you whether it’s more likely to donate electrons or pull them away.
That’s what sent me down the rabbit hole of ORP, electrolysis, molecular hydrogen, certifications, and testing.
Sometimes the most important question isn’t the one everyone is asking.
It’s the one nobody is talking about.
Have you ever heard of ORP before, or was pH the only thing you looked at? Comment below👇
